I apologize for this unsolicited email but I do have an urgent business 
proposition that I would like to discuss with you. I have access to certain
funds that needs to be moved out of Africa immediately. I am looking to 
partner with somebody to assist me in this. Please note that it is not
illegal in any way nor will either of us be breaking any laws. I am willing to 
handsomely compensate you for your assistance. In case you are willing to
assist in the project do please get in touch with me at your earliest 
convenience so I can provide details to you.
Regards,

Herman Philips

The above is the actual scammer email received. It has been scrubbed of recipient information.
If you received an email like this you have several choices.

Ignore the scammer. Do not respond to emails. Just delete them.
Respond, but only to lead the scammer on--to get a counterfeit check, to report stolen credit card numbers, and to waste the scammer's time. Time spent trying to scam you is time not spent scamming someone else.
Report the scammer to us and we'll post their emails so others will know about that scammer.

Whichever option you choose make sure you do the following:

DO NOT educate the scammer in any way. Educating a scammer makes them better at scamming the next person.
DO NOT let the scammer know that YOU KNOW they are a scammer. The scammer will always be nice to you if they think there's a chance they may still be able to scam you. If they know they've been discovered they will often threaten you. Their threats are empty, but are scary to some people.
DO NOT give the scammer any personal information that they cannot find in a phone book (name, address, and phone.) Feel free to give them lots of incorrect information.

For more information you may contact us by email, email form, or by phone at (801) 277-0888.
